What folder background image do you use in Nova Launcher?

Tinkering, theming and changing our devices home screen have only become easier over the years. Custom home replacements, icon developers, creative apps like UCCW and Zooper all offer up some pretty amazing ways to make the look and feel of our devices unique. It is because of these apps and the creative genius of an ever growing community, that nearly every aspect of our devices can be toggled without hackery. While a lot of things are handed out on a silver platter to users, there are still a few things that require a decent amount of searching to find.

Over the weekend I started to play about with my set up, just a little. I figured it would be about time to make my screens look just a little different. I use Nova Launcher Prime, like many of you out there do. I installed some new icon packs, a couple new widgets to toy with and decided it was about time to change the folder icon that is on the screen. While Nova has a few basic folder background icons built in, I wanted something a bit more interesting.  Not being very image creative myself, I went out looking for Nova folder backgrounds. It was a little harder than I thought it would be to find some. That doesn’t mean I came up empty handed though.

I came across a post on RootzWiki from nearly a two years ago that had exactly what I was looking for. RW member jaydotelloh created 18 various folder background images for easy download and use. There are a number of colored rings to choose from. As an added kick there are is also Batman, Superman, Green Lantern and Captain America images as well. Here, take a look;

They look pretty good don’t they? Check out how a few look on my Xperia Z.

If you like them and would like to pick them up, head over to jaydotelloh’s thread on RootzWiki. They are packed in a zip file that you will have to extract to use them.  Do you guys have any others that you have picked up over the years that you use and love? Let everyone know where they can find them in the comments or on our G+ page.

In case you have no idea how to change the folder background it is pretty simple. Follow these steps –

• Go to Nova Settings
• Tap “Folders“
• Tap “Folder Background“
• Tap “Custom“
• Select where the folder image is, Album is usually the easiest.
